I had a job interview on Thursday 5:30 pm,which is my first interview in my life.And all this happened too fast when I think it at present. I sent an e-mail to apply the job on Tuesday morining,and on Wednesday afternoon,I was told to have a wriiten examination in the evening.Then I answered a phone call at about 4 o'clock am on Thursday,yes,the time was a few minutes to 4 with assurance,the time I was sleeping deeply.And she told me that I had got through the test and I obtained an interview from the public company at half part 5 pm.No time left for thinking,I prepared for my resume and one photo(1 inch) required by daylight. At 5:30,now the interview was beginning.The interviewer asked me a lot of questions beginning with introducing myself,then the courses I learned...The whole interview lasted just 20 minutes at most,but I felt I am stupid when I was on the way to school.I thought I could preform better,answer better and finish it better. I know that I won't get the job,but this interview was the chance of a lifetime and it's memorable to me.And I will be better in the next time.

aww don't worry. going for interviews doesn't mean you'll get the job. sometimes in life, you have to attend several interviews before you get a job offer. there are also people who get the job on the first interview. anyhow, take it as an experience and something that you can learn from. good luck and i hope you'll get a job soon! :)

I will begin to find work next year,now I always ask me what I can do, what I want to,and where I want to live in the future.Finally, I feel very sad for having no talent in anything.I used to like to complain that if I were given another chance, I would do it better.But in this so changeable world the chance is not so easy to catch.So I do prepare for my future.

One year ago,I was just the same with you.I have no targets,and I really felt I knew little.Even now,sometimes I am still as I was before.However,you're lucky,because you still have one year to prepare for.I advice you first make a decision about the job you want to do in the future,and then try your best to get near to your dream.Hope that you'll have a good future and best wishes.

It's a good start tzmmmm. IT's really like that at first but I am sure in your second job interview you will do better already since you have an experience already as to how interviews are done. Godbless you on your job hunting!
